Pro tips that actually work
- Turn notes into one-page visuals. One page per topic beats ten pages of passive notes.
- Teach a peer for 10 minutes; teaching forces weak-points out.
- Use mixed practice: combine topics and question styles to mimic exam variability.
- Sleep well. Memory consolidation happens during sleep; don’t sacrifice it for extra hours of low-quality study.
